The suffering God inflicts while we are on Earth is nothing compared to the suffering doled out by Satan. I gladly take all the misery, disappointment and heartache God gives me each and every day if that is what it takes to even remotely prevent me from going to Hell.
I like to think it is about a child who is repeatedly raped by a parent. It is not really that bad, once the child learns to relax. Certainly a lot better than not having the occasional meal. What really matters is the parental involvement in the child's life and giving attention.
I often tell my kids that the rare and meager daily punishments I impose upon them for heinous acts like speaking without being spoken to is nothing compared to the joy Satan will get from searing their flesh off of their bones as they watch. Placing a little ones hand on the hot stove is an excellent teaching tool.
God causes regular pain and suffering to us to remind us it could be a lot worse.

Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
Amos 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?Numbers 21:6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
Matthew 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
Matthew 10:36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

We need to be careful here in saying who the "bad people" are. For example, a man may lead a horrible life, torturing babies, killing children, raping woman, and, even worse, raping men, but might be foreordained by God to be saved before he dies. Therefore, although he appears to be a bad man, in God's eyes, he's actually a paragon of virtue, despite his multitude of sins, because those sins will be forgiven by the blood of Jesus.

Of course, most people who do these things are destined to burn in Hell, so they still deserve a severe rebuking by all True Christians™.

One just has to look at the life of Pope John Paul II for an example of Satan's power.

Are you kidding me? Hitler wasnt that bad. Seriously are you joking cause thats not funny. You are stupider than the average village idiot if you believe that. You know why good things happen to bad people think about it real hard and let your weak little mind make up another frivilous excuse to keep your faith. Pathetic. I bet you still believe in santa and the toothfairy. Seriously i read in a book they were real and one better i actually SAW santa claus at the mall it was profound made me a true believer he said that the people who dont believe wont get presents and that people would try and convince me hes not real but never stop believing because their just saying that to test my faith

I think you may have been misled here. Santa Claus is a fictitious character introduced to gullible and trusting children by their parents. No child is born with a belief in Santa.

Jesus, God and the Holy Spirit on the other hand are evidenced around us on a daily basis and in all aspects of our lives and the Love of Jesus is imbued in them at conception.

To continue to believe in Santa after, say, the age of 5 is a little naive. The presents he brings are "of this World" and can be seen in the stores and catalogs around you. The Gifts of God are spiritual and eternal and are not for sale (although generous tithing is expected.)

Yes, Santa Clauses are seen but those are the equivalent of False Prophets - mere deceivers clothed mentally and physically in the robes of office to lead the young into sins of the flesh and envy. God is not seen because His Glory is overwhelming and this proves He is as He says He is in the Bible.

Well friend, you certainly are a passive agressive. I find it very sad you do not want to share your love of God with the little children.

Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
Amos 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?Numbers 21:6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.

Matthew 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
Matthew 10:36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

In Romans 5:8 we are taught, “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Despite the evil, wicked, sinful nature of the people of this world, God still loves us. He loves us so much that He gave His only begotten Son to be the propitiation for all of our sins - past, present, and future. Truly He is the Lamb of God that takes away the sins of the world, for He who knew no sin became the sacrificial lamb. He willingly gave His life to pay a debt that He did not owe, and one that none of us could have ever paid on our own. Because of His atoning sacrifice a way has been made possible for each of us, both good people, as well as bad people through the process of repentance, to one day return home to live eternally with our Heavenly Father.God is good, just, loving, kind, and merciful. The Lord is aware of us all. He has shown us the way to return to Him. But, we have the choice whether to remain faithful or turn away from Him. The Lord can make weak things become strong, including our faith. We will be blessed exceedingly through the eternities if we will have faith and put our trust in Him and endure to the end!

Thank you for describing the Mormon initiation ritual for us. But what does that have to do with the question, "Why do good things happen to bad people?"

Bible boring? Nonsense!Try Bible in a Year with Brother V, or join Shirlee and the kids as they discuss Real Bible Stories!You can't be a Christian if you don't know God's Word!

We are here three score years and ten or may be a few more. Let us say we live to be 80. Divide 80 by Eternity, and what do you have? Nothing.

Let’s say that a really bad person starts being bad aged 10 and is really bad 2 days a week for two hours each day. 4 hours a week for 70 years = 14,560hours. That’s 1 year 8 months = 2% of a lifetime. But look at this period ->.<- That period is more than a billion times bigger than nothing and The Lord alone knows how much bigger it is than 2% of nothing.

And so, God's Judgement is meted out in Heaven, at the Pearly Gates. Not on this Earth. As you Christians sit and look down on the short and miserable lives spent in this Vale of Tears, it is nothing for are not a 1,000 years but an evening to God? Then what is a fleeting moment of 1 year and 8 months?

In such short a time, can we say really say anything is truly good or bad? Earthly punishment (except crucifixion) is as nothing in comparison. Trust in God, He will avenge His Servants in Darkness and Torment – a Soul that never rests, a Soul wracked with pain, a fierce dry heat that roasts off the flesh and then it grows again. Blind and deaf with smashed teeth, your enemies and God’s enemies will be raked by the claws and teeth of demons, and why? Because God loves you personally and He fights your battles and gives You, personally, justice in the hereafter.

Luke 12:46 The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers. 12:47 And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.

I'm guessing you'll piss Him off sooner than me, chuckles. Then you won't be laughing near as hard as I am.

It does kind of make you chuckle doesn't it?

I mean you could have a homer dancing around the hell-hot coals of fire because he performed oral sex on a homo... and there I am eating at Christ's feast because I dragged a few darkies and homers on chains behind my truck.

Hello, my name is Mary. I hope to fellowship with you! That is, unless you don't listen to church authority (Deuteronomy 17:12); are a witch (Exodus 22:17); are a homosexual (Leviticus 20:13; Romans 1:24-32); or fortuneteller (Leviticus 20:27) or a snotty kid who hits their dad (Exodus 21:15); or curses their parents (Proverbs 20:20; Leviticus 20:9); an adulterer (Leviticus 20:10); a non-Christian (Exodus 22:19; Deuteronomy 13:7-12; Deuteronomy 17:2-5;Romans 1:24-32); an atheist (2 Chronicles 15:12-13); or false prophet (Zechariah 13:3); from the town of one who worships another, false god (Deuteronomy 13:13-19); were a non-virgin bride (Deuteronomy 22:20-21); or blasphemer (Leviticus 24:10-16), as God calls for your execution and will no doubt send you to Hell, and I have no interest developing a friendship with the Spiritually Walking Dead.

I'm not sure God will look favorably on those who rape their kids, I hope you only use the hot stove as punishment and not this depraved method James.

Some aren't using it as punishment, they are using it for sexual gratification which even when done the normal way is wrong in God's eyes if it isn't for reproduction, not sure how you can condone this James.

I've never heard of a baby boy getting pregnant after getting it up the butthole, so how is it 'not that bad?'

Ecclesiastes 4:5 The fool foldeth his hands together, and eateth his own flesh.

These are only the exceptional cases that the good things happen to these bad people`s. There is lot of good people`s who lives long life. Bad people just like hitler are professional in their field. They know how to handle these curse situations.
